O lord, bless my people

O lord, bless my peopleThey love you so much-They see you in everyFraud, every charlatanThat takes your name.O lord, bless my peopleThey ask for so little-A few stones, out ofYour infinite treasuresA few more days to live.O lord, bless my peopleThey love you so much-They are ready to killIn your name, and for you,They can slaughter neighbors.O lord, bless my peopleThey ask for so little-A child, a wife, a home-Not eternal bliss, nor heavenNor even a place in your kingdom.***
